I think its all great! My 11 yr old son has been a Dr Who fan since he was about 4 (John Pertwee his fave!) He has dalek posters in his room, and his wardrobe is painted to look like the Police Box, complete with flashing blue light at the top. His friends would come to tea and say "Whats that Anthony?"
Now all his mates want a Tardis Wardrobe of their own!!!
He is not nerdy anymore!! He's cool to have all the gear already!!!!!!!!
I'm so pleased that he has finally got a "Doctor" to watch of his own every week - unlike before when we would find the odd second hand video for £2 in a charity shop!
I think every generation needs a Doctor!!!!!!!!
Lorraine - and this one is far more fanciable than Sylvestor McCoy!!!
